Glaetzer Amon-Ra

Tasting Note

Colour:  Deep purple upon release, but will evolve to a rich, dark garnet red over 
time in bottle. 
Aroma: Dark cherry and blackberry notes are offset by hints of black pepper and a well stocked spice rack.  
Palate: Rich and enveloping and balanced on a razor’s edge between power and 
finesse. Multiple dark fruit notes saturate the palate,  enhanced with graceful  spice and herb notes. It will age for many years to come. 

Producer

Amon-Ra Shiraz is an iconic wine that epitomises Ben Glaetzer’s passion to create wines that are full flavoured, multi layered and intense but still elegant, stylish and finely balanced.

In Egyptian mythology, Amon-Ra is considered to be the king of all gods. The temple of Amon-Ra was believed to be the first temple to ever plant a monoculture vineyard to produce wine for the citizens of the temple.

The eye on front of the label is the all-seeing eye of Horus or wedjat ("whole one") - a powerful Egyptian symbol of protection. It is represented as a figure with six parts, corresponding to what Egyptians regarded as the six senses; touch, taste, hearing, sight, smell and thought.

Ben created Amon-Ra Shiraz to appeal to all these six senses.
